Profile:
The first professional player to perform the double of 1000 runs
and 100 wickets, Wilf Flowers was perhaps at his best as a
bowler, whose accurate off-breaks spun sharply, particularly on a
wet wicket. He was an effective bat, and a good fielder in the
deep. He played only one Test in England but toured Australia
twice (Dave Liverman, 1998).
